What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

AVI-8 Flyboy Spirit of Tuskegee Chronograph

Owners praise the AVI-8 Flyboy Spirit of Tuskegee Chronograph's aviation-inspired design and build quality, considering it superb value for its sub-$500 price. The 43mm stainless steel watch features a matte-black dial with aviation-style numerals and Swiss Super-LumiNova for legibility, powered by a Japanese Miyota automatic movement and protected by a sapphire crystal, with 5 ATM water resistance. Overall, owners rate the AVI-8 Flyboy Spirit of Tuskegee Chronograph highly for its compelling design and exceptional value at its price point.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
